 INTRODUCTION

Solar panel depend on PV cells to convert sunlight into

electricity. Unlike solar thermal energy which converts solar
energy to heat for either household purposes, industrial
purposes or to be converted to electricity, PV cells directly
convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight (photons)
strikes PV cells, they excite electrons and allow them to
flow,

Power Automobile”, Control Systems Magazine, IEEE, Vol. 19, No. 3.

Technology”, ICCEP Paper
METHODOLOGY

• Presently solar are being installed horizontally on roof top of the

solar powered vehicle, here is an effort to increase solar absorption
on solar panel, we install this panel on two axis frame which give solar
to tilt in two axis. Tilting is bases on direction where sun rays are
coming, this is achieved using LDR sensors.
MATERIAL REQUIRED

• SOLAR PANEL
• MAIN FRAME
• 2 SHAFTS
• BATTERY
• MICROCONTROLLER
• LIGHT SENSORS ( LDR )
• DC MOTORS
WORKING

• A solar powered vehicle gets the energy it needs to move from

sunlight. If you look at the solar car below you can see that much of
its surface looks black. This helps it to absorb the sunlight-black
objects absorb most of the light that falls upon them. To absorb
maximum amount of solar, the light sensors LDR detects in which
direction is maximum light coming and tilts the panel with help of DC
geared motor on two axis, motion is monitored by micro controller.
The electricity is used to drive the vehicle electric motor. Excess
electricity is stored in a battery for cloudy periods.
ADVANTAGES

• Has better efficiency.

• Makes the maximum utilization of solar energy.
• Device to track the light source.
• Works at good speed and consumes less energy.
• Easy to construct and install
DISADVANTAGES

• Solar can operate only for limited distance.

• If there is very less sunlight sensors need to calibrate.
• If it is dark out for many days, need to calibrate. Good solar powered
are is expensive.
• Parts used in solar are not produced in large quantity so they are
expensive.
WORK CARRIED OUT:
• Collecting the required materials
• Working on frame
• Working on shaft
CONCLUSION

Intelligent solar panel with light sensors help vehicle to run at its efficient way,
since these smart panels help to keep charging by absorbing at most available
light.
